"Mercy in the City: Doing God’s Work at Ungodly Hours"

Kerry Weber

We are called to lives that incorporate prayer and service, and sometimes that means early mornings, late nights, or long hours. America’s managing editor Kerry Weber discusses her efforts to participate fully in city life and in the life of the Church while still maintaining her sanity. Drawing upon her new book, Mercy in the City, she will offer her thoughts on how she tries to balance breadlines and deadlines, and how she finds a moment’s rest in the city that never sleeps.
